I saw a gal (super cute and thin) who I have always really liked and we live in the same small town, but never see each other. We chatted briefly last night while lugging our kids thru town trick or treating.....today she called me and said "I couldn't fall all over you in the street but you look amazing!". So nice that she took the time to call to say congrats! Made my whole day.

So, that got me thinking--I have never posted pix of myself on the board, so here is a brief pictorial before and after (but not to goal yet!)

this is summer 2004(pre band)--with my mom and my sweet boy, Denny:

This pix is December 2004--4 months after banding (I bought the matching Hanna Andersson skirt to match my DH and DS, but I couldn't get my left thigh in it, much less wear it--totally delusional!):

This is recent-Sept 14th with my little boy again! :) No sleep, no makeup and just after my brother's funeral. Sooo tired, but I like this photo. It's very real to me.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
